Construction of the Roman Colosseum, which was officially known as the Flavian Amphitheater, began in A.D. 69, during the reign of Vespasian, was completed a decade later, during the reign of Titus, who opened the Colosseum with a one-hundred-day cycle of religious pageants, gladiatorial games, and spectacles.

OAC
Doubt: In OA which was officially known as the Flavian Amphitheater is a modifier, modifies the Roman Colosseum right?

Many thanks in advance,
